“…Findings were supported by the explanation of Khaledi, et al, (2007) that increased domestic and international demand for organic products, along with environmental and safety issues, have stimulated policymakers and governments in some parts of the world to provide incentives for converting from conventional to organic farming. Seconded by Carreón, et al (2011), that the goal of developing sustainable agriculture is the responsibility of all participants in the system, including farmers, workers, policy makers, researchers, retailers and consumers. Each group has its own part to play and its own unique contribution to strengthen the sustainable agriculture community.…”

This study was conducted to assess the internal environment and regulatory environment of organic farming in Laguna province. A total of 86 organic farmers in selected municipalities in Laguna participated in the study. The research design employed was the descriptive method. Weighted means were used in the data analysis. The findings indicated that the internal environment in terms of operational sustainability and market sustainability is perceived as sustainable, while the regulatory environment in terms of standardization and certification is also perceived as sustainable. Results suggested that the perceived operational sustainability and market sustainability of organic farming imply a bright perspective in the province. Modification/amendments of the certification standards and regulations are essential mandates to increase adoption and to reach local and foreign market and must be attuned to the needs of small farmers. Improvement on internal systems in operational sustainability and local market sustainability is also recommended.

According to the knowledge approach to sustainable agriculture, the key factor influencing practical implementation of sustainable development in farming is the farmer's knowledge (Carreón et al, 2011). When the knowledge is sufficient, its practical implementation becomes an issue.…”

A prerequisite to manage farms in line with the sustainability concept is to be aware of the potential impact of farming practices on environmental and social issues. In this paper we tried to describe and assess environmental awareness of Polish farmers. Basing on the representative sample of 600 farms participating in the FADN we have carried out interviews concerning the farmers' awareness of environmental problems and potential influence of farming practices on the natural environment, as well as the concept of sustainable agriculture. The results show that the farmers have a relatively high environmental awareness (at least in declarations). Farmers with higher economic potential and participating in agri-environmental schemes are more likely to know the concept of sustainable farming, than the remaining ones.
